The cardinal who carried out an apostolic visit of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru over its dispute with the Archdiocese of Lima said the case is not over and that one of the main problems facing Peruvian society is polarization within its institutions.
Cardinal Peter Erdo, who is in Rome for a meeting of the Council of European Bishops' Conferences, told CNA on Feb. 15 that his visit in Lima focused on “the identity and the ecclesial and Catholic nature” of the university.
“I was in Peru and I held an extensive series of dialogues with many people, including university administrators and bishops,” the cardinal said.
“I have seen that Peruvian society is profoundly polarized by many problems, which can be seen as well inside the institutions, inside the Christian communities,” he added.
